TERA raises the bar, setting new standards in the gaming industry. It is a visually stunning world with graphic quality above all other games in the industry. You will experience a new ground-breaking gameplay system where stereotypes of traditional MMORPGs will be broken. You will have full control over the attacks and the fate of your enemy. No more "pointing and clicking" and playing combat relay with the enemies. Furthermore, not only do you control the action, TERA is also set in a world where the players will dictate the flow of the economy and individually impact the community environment.

In TERA, players master their destiny in a richly detailed game world with a pioneering dynamic combat system. Individual player actions can transform the balance of power in a world where old rivalries are erased, and disparate races must form a common federation to stave off destruction by marauding monsters and warring gods.

You become part of the realm of Arborea, created by the Ancient Gods. You defend your race in a fantasy world where your creators, descendents of the Ancient Gods, have warred upon each other centuries ago. Join forces and become part of a vast world in constant conflict, where new battles and weaponry skills will leave you grasping for more as you become immersed in the realm of Arborea. Take charge and become the hero the world seeks!

The first online test of its systems is to start today, 31st March. 1,500 of the most dedicated and hardcore fans from the European TERA community will receive a special invite to the event, allowing them to finally set-foot in the much anticipated title and push the game to its limits. The event will run over four days and for those that miss out on an invite to the event, fear not, as more online tests are scheduled to arrive in the very near future.

A player’s ascension to the top won’t just stop when you hit level 50, in TERA you’ll also have the opportunity to rule the land with the implementation of a new political system.  The update will allow particularly skilled players who have mastered their skills and conquered the battle fields to embark on another all-together different challenge: the political realm. 

Players will be able to stand for election and, if successful, have the honour of ruling over their chosen region as the Vanarch. Becoming the ruler of a region is no easy feat, and players in TERA will have to have truly earned the trust of their fellow guild members to launch a successful bid to the throne and stay there come re-election.  And you will want to stay there. Successfully elected Vanarch’s will have access to a bevy of special privileges, granting the kinds of powers any budding revolutionary would crave.

Whether you make your way to the throne with a grass roots campaign or with brute force, the choice is yours. Each region has its own particular requirements for election, so take a minute to examine your surroundings before embarking on an elaborate killing frenzy or brain washing propaganda campaign. Choose the wrong method, and it’s likely you won’t be everyone’s favourite candidate come election day.

Once players have fought their way to top of the heap and emerged victorious they will have access to an exclusive mount, be able to send out special messages to those residing in their region, impose taxes and even reposition NPCs in the villages he or she rules. To perform such feats requires the collection of ‘Policy Points’, acquired through specialized quests, and it is up to the ruling Vanarch to determine where these points should be spent.  Rule with a deft and forgiving hand, and you’ll be a hero amongst your people, but rule with a feisty temperament and you may soon find yourself on the receiving end of a vicious uprising.
